A Better Option

Are you like me? Are you trying to find better options for your family to eat? I know I am. I am sick and tired of looking at the ingredients and finding high fructose corn syrup! It is the devil! I swear it is everywhere...Here is my little healthy alternative to frozen pizza. Cause if your like me, you love frozen pizza. I just use a wheat pita (check the ingredients, I just discovered mine has high fructose corn syrup, not happy. Really, hfcs in a wheat pita? Really!), pizza sauce in a squeeze bottle, and low fat mozzarella. Put it all together, and heat in the oven at 350 for about 10 min. Trust me, it is easy and so much better for you than the frozen variety. Lots of fiber (fiber good). To top it off, the little ones can make their own. You can toss what ever you want on them (fresh tomato, pepperoni, pineapple...). It works for me...Do you have any healthier options to old standards? Share, I need help!

We do this with ready-made pizza crusts that come in packages of three - it works really well for Abby, Hannah and I to each make our own pizzas and I share with Becca. The girls love making their own pizzas. I never though about using pitas though, great tip! :)

Great idea! I hate finding out my favorite foods contain HFCS too! Just noticed that Ritz crackers have it--so switched to oyster crackers for soup. I miss the flaky buttery-ness, but my kiddos prefer the tiny oyster crackers--score one for Mom!

I've been working on editing the hfcs out of my life for a few months now and it really really is everywhere. I mean, yogurt, bread (even Sara Lee!), Oreos, graham crackers, Special K. It's ridiculous. Luckily, all natural products are getting easier to fine. Pepperidge Farm rarely has hfcs though, so at least I can still have goldfish crackers. :)
